A Quiet Stream.

quiet stream
Flowed through level meadow-all day
long
Its voice was heard in murmurous melody,
That halfa whisper seemed, and half a song
Yet no one paused to hear its harmony,
Or marked the brightness of sunny gleam.
But where its course
Was half arrested by the rugged stone
II swelled and bubbled till with newborn
power
It leaped the barrier, all its weakness gone
Its spray ascending in a silvery shower,
Its onward way pursued wit added force.
Its beauty then
The artist praised, the poet sang. until
Came many to admire the pretty scene,
Half marveling at the strength Of such q
rill-
A silver ribbon parting banks Of green,
Swift as an arrow, deeper tha n their ken.
So we in life,
Unconscious Of our strength may pass along,
Our silent efforts vain-our labor lost
Content to rest unnoticed by the throng,
Whose paths in life our daily course have
crossed,
TIL trouble comes to rouse US into strife.
Then we possess
Through labor, power-from pain and weari-
ness
We learn the lesson that will make us strong,
Endow us with capacity to bless
The world will listen to the stirring song.
Born Of soul replete with earnestness!
